Pros

Awesome people on the operations level. Everyone was fun, supportive, and smart. Lots of new college grads. I joined as a new college grad and loved it because I worked with people my age. All of my supervisors were very supportive and always talked to me about growth. Lots of snacks. Many people made "LC" lunches from the bread, cereals, and cup noodles (before they stopped having them). Free gym on the bottom floor. Free icecream, free coffee, free alcohol. Pay isn't that great. Health/vision/dental benefits are actually really great!

Cons

Upper management doesn't care about operations. Treated as a number in a very metric-driven space. Member Support reps are practically chained to their desks. Upper management didn't even realize (or care to notice) that customers were waiting nearly 2 hours to talk to a representative, for almost a year. CEO literally never walked onto any operations floor and did not show up at the large meetings that were held about layoffs.

Pros

Decent starting pay and some good teammates. The company is highly profitable and continues to grow. Opportunities to take on new responsibilities and expand your scope. Equity awards.

Cons

Over the course of several years, I have been given additional responsibilities multiple times without more compensation despite the company’s strong financial performance. While I’m happy to contribute, the pattern of increasing responsibility without recognition is a major demotivator, even to your most diligent employees. It's tiresome. It doesn't take much effort to make strong contributors feel seen and valued, and it's such a missed opportunity not to. The company frequently talks about culture and values, but there is infighting and rivalries between teams and individuals. That energy creates drama instead of collaboration and leads to repetitious mistakes. Good people — especially top performers — eventually leave because they can.
